As Consequências do Racismo e do Sexismo à Saúde Psíquica das Mulheres Negras no Contexto Brasileiro

Abstract

This work was developed from the critical dialectical method and from a descriptive, documentary and bibliographic research that present the interrelationships of racism, sexism and mental health, seeking to understand the contradictory relationships and the place destined for black women in our society, as well as deepen the analysis of racism and sexism to the detriment of these women's psychic health. Through research on gender and race relations in Brazil, it was possible to draw a profile of black women in the country, access to health and the complementarity between social, physical and mental conditions. As a result, it was found that black women are the most prone to the development of common mental disorders (CMDs) and other diseases and how deep the roots of this inequality are in the capitalist system, which, by its nature, is impossible to annihilate the disparities that generate.
